Swedish pastry chef Claes Karlsson‘s cookbook, The Big Book of Desserts and Pastries, is filled with simple, non-intimidating recipes for gorgeous sweets that make us want to preheat the oven ASAP.

This particular recipe from the pages of his book caught our eye, and not just because they’re lush little bites of chocolate. These tiny treats are packed with freshly grated beetroot, an often used “secret ingredient” of pastry chefs to add natural sweetness and create a phenomenally moist cake without the added calories and fat of other ingredients typically used to contribute moisture, such as sour cream or yogurt.

Give the recipe a try and let us know what you think in the comments below.
